Man arrested in Morocco following assault on imam in Kénitra
An individual has been placed in detention in Morocco as part of an investigation into the assault of an imam in Kénitra, an assault that took place on Thursday of the previous week and which left the victim with serious injuries, according to the website tanja7 cited by IQNA.
Investigators were quick to identify the suspect. They subsequently located him in the rural area of Afourar, situated around Beni Mellal. An operation conducted jointly with the royal gendarmerie made it possible to apprehend him without any major incidents to report.
The accused was placed in police custody under the authority of the competent public prosecutor's office. The magistrates are seeking to establish with precision the conditions under which the assault took place as well as the reasons that motivated its perpetrator.
Investigations are continuing in order to shed full light on this case. Other individuals could be arrested in the coming days, according to Moroccan judicial authorities.
